This volume, "Notes On Drawings by Mr. Ruskin Placed On Exhibition by Professor Norton in the Gallery of Messrs. Noyes & Blakeslee, Boston, October, 1879," offers a fascinating glimpse into the art world of late 19th-century Boston. It documents an exhibition of drawings by the eminent Victorian art critic John Ruskin, curated by Professor Charles Eliot Norton. The notes provide commentary and context for Ruskin's work, reflecting the aesthetic values and intellectual climate of the time. This work is essential reading for those interested in the history of art criticism, the reception of Ruskin's ideas in America, and the cultural landscape of Boston during the Gilded Age. It offers insight into the dialogue between two influential figures and the appreciation of art in a specific historical context.
